Content

The ongoing data deluge driven by the increasing digitalization of science, society and industry, leads to a significant increase in demand for data storage, processing and analytics within several industrial domains. Sciences and industry are overwhelmed by the need to store large amounts of transactional and machine-generated data resulting from the customer, service and manufacturing processes. Examples of machine-generated data are server logs as well as sensor data that is generated in finer granularities and frequencies. Further, datasets are often enriched with web and open data from social media, blogs or other open data sources. The Internet of Things (IoT) will further blur the boundaries between the physical and the digital world causing an even further increase in the digital footprint of the world. In this course, we will learn about data applications and their requirements. In this lecture, we will learn about methods and technologies for handle the large data volumes, analytics and machine learning. As part of the exercises students will utilize different frameworks, e.g., MapReduce, Spark and Tensorflow/Keras, to implement different algorithms.

This class will cover the following topics:

• Data applications in industry and sciences
• Data-intensive methods in high performance computing
• Large-scale data processing using Spark, Dask, Flink and Ray
• SQL for unstructured data: Hive, Spark-SQL, Presto
• Stream processing: Kafka, Spark Streaming, Flink
• Data science and machine learning: unsupervised and supervised methods, tools (numpy, pandas, scikit-learn)
• Deep learning: convolutional neural networks (Tensorflow, Keras)
• Natural language processing: word embeddings, large language models (RNNs, LSTMs, Transformers)
• Quantum machine learning
• AI Ethics

The course will be offered as a block lecture. The lecture will be held in English.

Audience

The lecture is aimed at master's and bachelor's degree students in the computer science and data science programs.
